white text on yellow background, that's infuriating

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

When you're actually using the app instead of having the compression artifacts of being screenshot several times, it's not as bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It doesn't make it less of a crime against good design. Low contrast for reading is bad practice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't care if you're watching it in 32k on Odin's personal account, white on yellow is NEVER acceptable for ANYTHING.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It assails the eyes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's kind of nice when people reveal themselves to be insufferable douchebags at the outset rather than wasting your time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

her persistence indicates he is physically attractive

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro doing "being mysterious" the wrong way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bro is being long term single if this is his game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Id say she got to know just about eveything she needed to know about this person.

The last four songs I've listened to on YouTube are three pirate shanties and "We Know The Way" from the Moana soundtrack. I'm not answering this question either. :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Smart move. Wouldn't want to intimidate anyone with your superior taste in music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly though that's the exact kind of thing I would want to know- the real you, not the you that tell me you are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one .... then he doesn't care about you in the slightest.

"But its a generic question!"

Two words: common courtesy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

People (guys usually) also answer like this when they are trying to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you'll sleep with them. They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they've lost their chance. It's a very manipulative mindset. He was like a deer in the headlights, not knowing if any answer he gave would be the right answer since he doesn't know her at all yet. So he stalls, hoping she'll drop it.

Or he might just be an idiot.

Either way, drop them and move on to somebody who will be real with you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In other words, playing games, i.e trying to "tick her funne bone" so he gets someone else to play instead of himself. But what most of those guys fail to acknowledge is that "tickling her funne bone" takes time -- it's not a "free pussy pass" of any sort that you "say it", and she goes "WHOOAAA fuck me mister! Fuck me right NOW!". That is not "acting tough" or smart, but acting like a douche.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that was my thought as well. This is the type of person who is only going to say something of they think it will impress you. The second possibility is that they will share nothing of themselves, period. In either case, they don't seem like good relationship material.

Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I didn’t even know it was humanly possible to not like music at all. What were they like? Like their personalities? Did they seem sociopathic or were they generally “normal”?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of good examples in the comments, but the few Ive ran into were more indifferent thsn anything - like, they never heard anything that appealed to them. One guy I knew actively avoided music because it'd get stuck in his head and drive him nuts.

They seemed normal otherwise, for the most part. But they knew that disliking music was weird and were a little insecute about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I used to not like music at all and 15 year old me would have probably responded just like this guy. But for me it was more that I didn't know what I liked until I heard it. Everyone around me exclusively listened to top 40 and RnB, or techno/house. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me cos I hated everything I heard. And then I heard metal for the first time, and everything changed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nobody's normal, we are all weird in our own way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is so weird. The first response was somewhat acceptable if in a joking manner but then he quintuple downed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If it is any consolation for them, they definitely learned everything they needed to know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

"Why do girls keep ghosting me? I'm such a nice guy! Bohooohoooo"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You don't want to date that guy, let the process work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You know... It's seeing this type of stuff I'm so happy I found my wife the old fashioned way before dating apps existed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

seriously. I'd be doomed to die alone if i hadn't met my wife in college. thank god my friends decided to set us up on a blind date because we had the same birthday and they thought it was funny

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am also happy that my marriage was arranged.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Online dating is one of the most exhausting experiences of my life.

"It's something you've never heard of"

"How do you know?"

"...because I'm never going to tell you about it"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's just a super closely guarded musical secret he has to keep. The cabal of music keepers does not take blabbermouths lightly

What did Nickelback ever do to you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I'm pretty amazed that people don't immediately hear the stereotypical doucheyness, as well as the teenager-pandering, intelligence-insulting, terrible messages the moment they hear Nickelback.

Maybe I don't hate Nickelback for the same "gut" reasons the internet does, but I sure do hate them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is literally out of these incel playbooks. Straight up tater tot bullshit lmao.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But you got to know what kind of person she is, right? The app did its job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Basically why they are single, you must be desperate lmfao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Time to move to the next chat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He's thinking "what does music have to do with me getting sex as quickly s possible?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is a red flag. It means he listens exclusively to Nickelback and Creed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Something I was dearly hoping wouldn't find its way over here from Reddit: screenshots of posts which erase the posters' identity for no good reason.

Giving proper credit for content is cool, kids.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People do that when they don’t have an answer. I can’t remember the last song I’ve saved, for instance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What does "saving" a song even mean? I'm old and confused

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's just something your average 25 year old does, why do you want to know so bad?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

liking/favoriting/adding to a playlist, etc

Kudos to you for demonstrating interest in getting to know whoever you cross on these platforms (a rarity these days...) 🙌🏽

I relate to your discomfort. I usually unmatch or block such vibes bc the point of these apps is to date, which implies getting to know each other. If one is unwilling to put in the work (as minimal as it may seem), just spare folx who are interested in the above.

So much has changed in the dating scene. Sometimes, I am asked why I am being nosy or psychoanalyzing them. 🙄 Dude, you're on a dating app, right?

P.S.: I respect boundaries, but such questions are essential in familiarizing oneself with someone.
